PCMARK 10 FULL SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK
PCMark 10 Storage Benchmarks produce an overall score as a measure of drive performance. Comparing devices is as simple as comparing scores. The tests also measure and report the bandwidth and average access time performance for the drive. Each test uses traces recorded while performing real-world tasks such as booting Windows 10, starting applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working with applications such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and copying several large files and many small files.
PCMark 10 results placed the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus-G in the top 5 of all drives tested to date.
PCMARK 10 QUICK SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK
The Quick System Drive Benchmark is a subset of the Full test and is more representative of typical daily usage to show what would be expected regarding hybrid SSD performance on a day-to-day basis.
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus-G Gaming NVMe SSD seems to have been overtaken a bit in this benchmark.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus G Gen 4 NVMe SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk. Is that right? Did the Rocket 4 Plus-G just become the second SSD to move passed the Intel Optane P5800x?
PASSMARK PERFORMANCE TEST
We thought we might add a few extras in our report today, PassMark Performance Test DiskMark component being a nice addition. This software tests sequential reads and writes, along with IOPS and compares the result with millions of other SSDs worldwide. We might suggest being in the 99th percentile of all SSDs tested was a nice result.
As with just about every test, the Rocket 4Plus-G is right there with the best of the best.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER BENCHMARK
The Final Fantasy Benchmark is a new tool in our arsenal and geared specifically to the gamer. The software is installed directly on the SSD and the SSD tested, providing and end result of FPS and scene transition times.
The fact that the Rocket 4 Plus-G is in the top two of game loading tells us everything about this SSD, considering it is DirectStorage ready and the first is not.
